- The task context menu provides the same selector, enabling dependency management directly from the Task List, Kanban, and calendar views.
- Task cards show a fork icon whenever a task blocks other work. Clicking it expands an inline list of downstream tasks without triggering the parent card’s modal, so you can inspect dependents in place.

These controls currently create and manage finish-to-start style blockers. Advanced `reltype` values and `gap` data are preserved in frontmatter, but blocking evaluation is currently based on whether unresolved dependencies exist rather than relationship-type-specific scheduling rules.
By default, dependencies use finish-to-start. Enable **Features → Dependencies → Advanced dependency types** to choose a relationship type and an optional lag per dependency from both the "Blocked by" and "Blocking" lists in the edit modal.

Blocking is evaluated per endpoint: finish-to-start and start-to-start gate a task's *start*, while finish-to-finish and start-to-finish gate its *finish*. An edge releases as soon as the predecessor reaches the point the relationship requires — started for a start-to-\* edge, completed for a finish-to-\* edge — so a task reads "Blocked · start" or "Blocked · finish" only while it is genuinely constrained.

P1 Badge Add the dependency feature to unreleased notes

This commit introduces user-facing lifecycle categories, advanced dependency types, and per-endpoint blocking, but leaves docs/releases/unreleased.md unchanged. Add an appropriate user-facing release entry so the feature is included in the next release notes, as required by the repository guide.

AGENTS.md reference: AGENTS.md:L49-L49

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.


TaskNotes-rendered views (Task List, Kanban, cards) reflect this computed state. A native `.base` filter on "blocked by", however, matches by existence only: a Bases filter formula evaluates a single note's frontmatter and cannot read a predecessor's status, so it cannot distinguish a released edge from a live one. Use a TaskNotes-rendered view when you need constraint-aware blocking.
